Terms of Service

Last updated: January 16, 2026

01

Introduction

Welcome to Hi Video. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Hi Video website, applications, and services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

02

Account Registration

To use certain features of the Service, you must create an account. When you create an account, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information
  • Maintain and update your information to keep it accurate
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and use the Service.

03

Credit System and Purchases

Hi Video operates on a credit-based system. Credits are used to generate AI-powered videos.

3.1 Credit Purchases

  • Credits are purchased through one-time payments (no subscriptions)
  • All prices are displayed in USD and include applicable taxes where required
  • Credits are non-transferable between accounts
  • Credits are valid for one (1) year from the date of purchase
  • Expired credits cannot be refunded or restored

3.2 Credit Usage

  • Each video generation (up to 10 seconds) costs 10 credits
  • Credits are deducted at the time of video generation request
  • If a video generation fails due to a system error, credits will be automatically refunded
  • Credits are not refunded for videos that complete successfully, regardless of output quality
04

Refund Policy

We understand that circumstances change. Our refund policy is designed to be fair to both users and our business, as video generation consumes real computational resources (GPU processing time).

4.1 Prorated Refunds for Unused Credits

You may request a refund for unused credits only. Refunds are calculated on a prorated basis:

Refund Amount = (Unused Credits / Total Credits Purchased) x Original Purchase Price

Example: If you purchased 80 credits for $50 and used 30 credits to generate 3 videos, you may request a refund for the remaining 50 unused credits:

Refund = (50 / 80) x $50 = $31.25

4.2 No Refunds for Used Credits

Credits that have been used to generate videos are non-refundable. This is because:

  • Video generation consumes significant GPU computational resources
  • These resources are billed to us regardless of whether you keep the video
  • The service has been rendered once a video is successfully generated

4.3 Refund Request Process

  • Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of purchase
  • Contact us at support@hi.video with your account email and reason for refund
  • Refunds are processed within 5-10 business days
  • Refunds are issued to the original payment method
  • Processing fees may apply (typically 2.9% + $0.30 per Stripe's policy)

4.4 Exceptions

Full refunds (including for used credits) may be issued at our discretion in cases of:

  • Widespread service outages affecting your ability to use purchased credits
  • Billing errors or duplicate charges
  • Fraud or unauthorized purchases (subject to investigation)
05

Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Generate content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable
  • Generate content that infringes on intellectual property rights of others
  • Generate deepfakes or misleading content intended to deceive others
  • Generate content depicting minors in any inappropriate context
  • Generate pornographic, sexually explicit, or adult content
  • Impersonate any person or entity without their consent
  • Attempt to circumvent any security measures or access restrictions
  • Use automated systems or bots to access the Service
